Card type
The card type information returns the specific card type that is found under this device. When using multiple cards in one system it is highly
recommended to read out this register first to examine the ordering of cards. Please don’t rely on the card ordering as this is based on the
BIOS, the bus connections and the operating system.
One of the following values is returned, when reading this register. Each card has its own card type constant defined in regs.h. Please note
that when reading the card information as a hex value, the lower word shows the digits of the card name while the upper word is a indication
for the used bus type.
